Rafael Luis Ávila Macke

Rafael Luis Ávila Macke is the Defensor del Pueblo of Peru, an official responsible for safeguarding citizens' rights and overseeing government actions. Recently, he has been in the news for presenting a constitutional amparo against the Comandancia of the Policía Nacional, advocating for over 2,400 female applicants to the Colegio de Policía who were unjustly excluded from the admission process for the 2025 academic year. Ávila Macke argues that the exclusion violates constitutional rights and legal provisions against discrimination, particularly in the context of gender equality in police training admissions.
